*721¶38 Second, while oral leases may be enforceable from month to month, Labor Hall, 24 Wn.2d at 87-88, under the MHLTA the tenant is entitled to “a written rental agreement, signed by the parties,” for a lease of any duration, RCW 59.20.060(1). The plain language of this provision ensures a minimum of formality for all MHLTA leases, even if the tenant chooses to enter a month-to-month lease. See RCW 59.20.050(1). But the fact that RCW 59.20.060(1) creates a minimum of formality for even the shortest MHLTA leases does not establish an irreconcilable conflict with RCW 59.04.010⅛ one-year limit on enforcing the provisions of written, unacknowledged leases.
